cowboy life, are Of Mexican origin. The
cowboy dress, the "chaps," or chapparels,
he wears as leggings, the whip he carries
and calls his "quirt," his broad light
brown hat, his great spurs and heavy
stirrups, his ornate saddle, his peculiar
language-all are Mexican, and all
have followed his progress up from
the first grazing plains of Mexico to those
of Texas, and thus northward to the
Canadian line. The cowboys are mainly
from the Southern States-the best of
them from Tennessee and Kentucky
though there are few from the Eastern
and Middle States Almost all who have
clung to the cowboy life spent their
youth as farmers sons. They lead life
of hard work and exposure, and are paid
only $50 month during eight months
Of the year. Important a. they have
been in the past, they will shortly become
more so, for all signs point to the aban-
donment of the big ranches, and the
cowboys are likely soon to be-
come the only ranchmen, half herd
ers and half farmers, for the grass
10 so short and the winter so severe that
each ranchero must provide fodder
against the days when snow ill cover
the plain. For years the most ambitious
ones among the cow-punchers las they are
called In their own country have been
establishing themselves in tile business
in small ways, and it looks as though the
rich men who have of late been SO dis.
astrously pursued by bad luck in ranch
ing will soon abandon the grazing
country, leaving It dotted with small
ranches owned by the men who used to
be their assistants. JULIAN RALPH.

During the journey through the graz

on horseback, riding on the prairie or In
the towns. Some were picturesquely

legs. Their saddles were the heavy. but

who were seen, however, wore

With that marvellous accuracy of
Workmanship born of constant practice
with pistols, which is one Of the charac-

the cowboy began shooting with great
rapidity, first with one revolver and then
with another, and another, in such way
as to outline the entire upper half Of the
bartender's form with bullets that lit

Whatever was in the way Of the bullets

DINAH MARIA CRAK.

The Death Of the Author Of ssJohn HALF
fax. 0sntleman."
A dispatch from London announces the
death of Dinah Maria Mulock, the authoress.
She was born at Stokeupon-T Trent Stafford
shire, England, in 1928. Her father, who
had been clergyman, died, leaving widow,
daughter, and two sons to struggle along
on q small annuity. Mrs. Mulock died be-
fore the children were fully grown, and the.
annuity perishing with her, the respondbil-
ity of earning such living for herself and
brothers that she might keep them with her
devolved upon the daughter. She tried litera-
ture and succeeded, publisher accepting her
firststory and paying well forit. With her pen
she provided for and educated her brothers,
one of whom, O. soon as he had completed
his education, went to South America, where
he died, while the younger was accidentally
killed soon after he became able to share her
burden. Miss Mulock found in her literary
work relief from the sadness Of her position,
and applied herself diligently and with in.
creased success to the writing of stories. Her
first novel, ''The Ogilvies." appeared in ls40.
and was followed . year later by "Olive,"
the latter making permanent the fame OBJ
tanned by the former "Alice Learmont'
and "The Head Of the Family" appeared in
1855, and In 1852 "Agatha's Husband was.
welcomed by readers who were glad to well
come each Of her succeeding novels and 70
note that each was an Improvement upon it,
predecessor.
Miss Mulock reached the zenith of her
power in 1857, when "John Halifax, Gentle
man." appeared, Q story which il univer-
sally conceded to be her masterpiece. Among
other novels she wrote were "A Life for .
Life" ''Christian's Mistake" 1.-TWO Mar.
riages'' and "a Noble Life" and among
writings of another kind were collections Of
fugitive papers, several books for young peo-
pie, a volume Of poems and other works.
In 1855 Miss Mulock married Captain
George Lille Craik, an officer in the En-
glish army, and their married life, although
the husband was some years the Junior Of
his wife, was happy. Oflate years she lived
In the vicinity Of Richmond. Miss Mulock
never permitted her name to be affixed to
her productions, and "John Halifax" was
claimed by Mrs; Granville Whyts but, in
letter TO q gentleman Of New York, Niso
Mulock acknowledged the authorship Of
that novel and Of the preceding volumes.
